Is it just me, or does it feel like an iced berry oatmeal breakfast muffin day?
Any of the following responses will do:
a.) DUH
b.) HECK YEA
c.) TEN. GIVE ME TEN. Wait, ALL OF THEM.
Every morning for the last 3 weeks has followed somewhat of the same pattern. I get up at 6:45, basically fall down the stairs on my quest to get some liquid gold (aka coffee) into my veins, log on to my Bloglovin (shameless plug hehe) to read as many of my fellow bloggers posts as possible, realize it’s 15 minutes before I have to leave for class/head out for my run, rush rush rush to get ready, and either miss out on breakfast alltogether or grab a bar on my way out the door. I be moving like zooooooooom.
And guess what. Come the end of my lecture, I’m either starving or gettings all sorts of sad because I missed out on a real breakfast for a lousy little granola bar. I mean, I’m a healthy-ish food blogger for cryin’ out loud. I think I can do better than a pre-packaged snack for breakfast! And these put bars to shame because amidst the gloriously juicy and plump berries and vanilla icing, there’s fiber and healthy carbs and are those trumpet I’m hearing? Unleash the celebratory breakfast muffins trumpets!
These are very dense and filling due to the whole wheat flour and oats and contain no butter and are sweetened mostly by bananas and just a leeeetle sugar in the batch. And those perfectly tart berries? Don’t even get me started. They make me… berry happy. Also, can we just ignore how bad that pun was? You guys da best.
For those of you who like a bit of extra sweetness and prettiness, you can also add on the optional vanilla glaze. And by that I mean, DO IT.

Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
Yum!! Blueberries and raspberries are so expensive right now but this looks so delicious!
Liv @ Healthy Liv says
I love your photography in these pictures! The flowers and burlap add the perfect touch.
These look delicious AND healthy! And I agree, eating a granola bar for breakfast is such a sad missed chance to have a delicious meal!

Emma @ Life's A Runner says
We all know your pictures are photographic gold <3, SO I will move on to saying how freaking delicious these look! My mornings are seriously a thousand times tougher to get through when I end up with a gross & stupid bar for "breakfast". Double batch of these coming up when I get home!
Jackie says
YUMMMM those look like major foodporn to me!
Also, you made me really miss fresh berries. The selection in winter is less than ideal around here.

Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
I do believe that I’ll go with option C 😛 These look incredible, girl! I’m seriously loving the berry-ness. Actually, I’m loving everything in them. Oats, bananas, berries, yogurt… you’re speaking my language! And the fact that they’re good for breakfast makes them even better… I mean, you know me and my favourite meal of the day 😉

If these were sold in a coffee shop or bakery, and I was in either about 13 years back… And I could freeze time. I would freeze time, and eat ALL THE MUFFINS!!!!!!!!! And then make a run for it! 😉

Diana @sosmallsostrong says
These are so pretty!! Honestly I love a muffin that’s a little more dense. There’s something about biting into something hearty that makes me feel HAPPY! I’m finally caught up on my blog reading and let me ask you. How do you keep up??
